A Trusted Partner in Charitable Giving

Let’s work together to strengthen the fabric of the Eastern Shore.

At the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation, we understand the important role professional advisors play in helping clients achieve their charitable goals. Whether your client has a clear philanthropic vision or is just beginning to explore how to make a lasting impact, we’re here to help.

With more than 20 years of experience and a deep understanding of the needs of the Eastern Shore, ESVCF offers flexible giving options that align with your clients’ values and financial goals, now and for future generations. Through our affiliation with the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, we provide access to expert investment management, fund administration, and customized giving solutions.

Some clients come to you knowing exactly which charities they want to support. Others may simply express a desire to "give back" without knowing where to begin. We work with you to help your clients create a meaningful legacy that can benefit the community in perpetuity. From donor-advised and designated funds to legacy gifts and field of interest funds, we can craft a charitable plan that honors your client’s intent while maximizing tax advantages.
